I don't see how just accessing mailboxes would cause transactions that need to be written to logs. Unless antivirus finds and deletes a lot of messages.
I can see how when messages are added or deleted to mailboxes that will generate logs.

If you use a mailbox scanner, by virtue of the fact that you are accessing mailboxes, transactions are occuring, so the transaction logs will grow. I gotcha now. I thought you meant using a file-based AV scanner was going to change the size of the logs. My bad... I misunderstood what you meant in your post.

If you scan the M: drive, it will certainly cause a growth in transaction logs. However, I can only assume that since he has upgraded to E2003, the M: drive is no longer visible, so I left that part off. -----Original Message----- From: Eric Fretz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 18, 2003 4:49 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: W2K3/E2K3 JUST UPGRADED TRANSACTION LOGS GROWING FAST I realize that AV scanning your database will cause your machine to run like a sick dog, but are you suggesting it will bloat the size of the log files? I've never done that because I've always known better.

Or are you addressing the "sluggish performance" symptom. Is internal mail delivery taking a long time to deliver as well?

Verify you arent allowing auto-replies to the Internet and that if you are running AV software on the server, you arent scanning the exch dirs. -----Original Message----- From: Jim Collins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 18, 2003 4:19 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: W2K3/E2K3 JUST UPGRADED TRANSACTION LOGS GROWING FAST I have just upgraded a Windows 2000 Server / Exchange 2000 Server to Windows Server 2003 and Exchange Server 2003. The upgrade seemed to go well. Now my transaction log disk is filling up fast. I would appreciate any hints on where to find documents for diagnosing this type of issue.
